1.3 - Analysis of Significant Trends#

Output Expenses

Output expenses have remained relatively stable. The forecast shows a decrease between 2020/21 and 2021/22, this is due to the expiry of the Hydrographic Survey MYA (30 June 2021).

Other Expenses

Land Information New Zealand collects and pays to the New Zealand Transport Agency proceeds from the sales of Crown land no longer required. The related expenses for this appropriation can vary significantly and is dependent on the work programme of the New Zealand Transport Agency. These expenses are fully offset through the corresponding Crown revenue received.

Capital expenditure

Land Tenure Reform Acquisitions was structured as an MYA that expired in 2018/19. This reverted to an annual appropriation stabilising the overall trend. The capital expenses are expected to be offset by corresponding capital receipts received.

As well as this, on 23 October 2018, Cabinet gave Land Information New Zealand approval to progressively rebuild Landonline, the system used to manage New Zealand's title and survey transactions. This will provide a reliable, accessible and secure platform. It will also improve LINZ's ability to respond to customer needs and continue to meet its regulatory requirements.

Multi-Category Expenses and Capital Expenditure (MCA)

Due to the completion of significant work programmes for Canterbury Earthquake Recovery, MCA expenses have recently reduced and are forecast to reduce as other programmes of work come to an end.

MCA output expenses however have steadily grown and are forecast to remain stable in the outyears reflecting the increased activity in the Crown Land and Location Based Information MCAs.
